<p>> So, trying to make the argument that someone's work is less-than because they used a cheaper/more amateur tool versus the tool the well-funded professionals are using<p>No. Just the fact that they have a tool does not automatically make them a professional, doesn't automatically make them skillful, and doesn't automatically make their output worth something.<p>This is the meaning of "When they shoot a little artistic clip with their nice modern iPhone camera, it does not mean they get to insert it into a Hollywood movie."<p>There's nothing elitist about it.</p>

<p>"You are not a photographer just because you have a camera" has been a standard saying since forever, and has nothing to do with elitism.<p>Those <i>professionals</i> are professionals not because they own an iPhone and use it to shoot something.</p>

<p>> I was unaware Apple still maintained such a document?<p>They kinda do. For a long time HIGs were well researched documents with great examples and explanations.<p>For the past few years they've been used as post-hoc justifications (or just examples with no justifications) for whatever designs vomits out.</p>

<p>> but I could see how they might be alien and uncomfortable to someone that has only ever experienced mobile interfaces.<p>From a review at an attempt to butcher Safari interface several years back, by Riccardo Morri <a href="https://morrick.me/archives/9368" rel="nofollow">https://morrick.me/archives/9368</a><p>--- start quote ---<p>The utter user-interface butchery happening to Safari on the Mac is once again the work of people who put iOS first. People who by now think in iOS terms. People who view the venerable Mac OS user interface as an older person whose traits must be experimented upon, plastic surgery after plastic surgery, until this person looks younger. Unfortunately the effect is more like this person ends up looking… weird.<p>These people look at the Mac’s UI and (that’s the impression, at least) don’t really understand it. Its foundations come from a past that almost seems inscrutable to them. Usability cues and features are all wrinkles to them. iOS and iPadOS don’t have these strange wrinkles, they muse. We must hide them. We’ll make this spectacular facelift and we’ll hide them, one by one. Mac OS will look as young (and foolish, cough) as iOS!<p>--- end quote ---<p>(power users don't use mobile devices for their work, and yet...)</p>
